[Verse 1]
      Amaj                      Dmaj9
The sour substances that make up my hind brain
      Amaj                      Dmaj9
Have slowly become stagnant and I have surely become insane
      Amaj                 Dmaj9
And the anger I feel in my veins
            Amaj              Dmaj9
Has stopped pouring out of the hole in my face
       Amaj
And remains in my stained ribcage
 
(The last Amaj should be strummed once and let ring. The next verse and chorus are only ukulele and so I
guess it could be no chords, but I'll write the chords down anyway.)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 Amaj                   Dmaj9
Broken by 14 with no chance for absolution
              Amaj                                Dmaj9
'Cause they refused to open their minds' eye, and see we too were human
        Amaj                       Dmaj9
We were searching for joy with our pathetic conclusions
           Amaj                Dmaj9
We started savoring apathy and all of our bruises
 
 
[Chorus]
        Amaj7                  Amaj*
And the songs we sung when our minds were done
        Amaj7                                Amaj*
And our lungs bled, our tongues said, "We're done with the humdrum"
           Amaj7          Amaj*
We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw
               Amaj7                          Amaj*
But now we set campfires in car parks and cut corners on short walks
 
 
[Interlude]
Amaj7 Amaj*  x4
 
 
[Verse 3]
      Amaj                 Dmaj9
Well, out of the flames we reclaimed our decay
        Amaj                              Dmaj9
And the world became a stage, complete chaotic, how we played
    Amaj                     Dmaj9
And cryptic visions of us disposing of ourselves, became
Amaj                    Dmaj9
Sordid depictions of disposable wealth
 
 
[Chorus]
        Amaj7                  Amaj*
And the songs we sung when our minds were done
        Amaj7                                Amaj*
And our lungs bled, our tongues said, "We're done with the humdrum"
           Amaj7          Amaj*
We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw
               Amaj7                          Amaj*
But now we set campfires in car parks and cut corners on short walks
 
 
[Bridge]
N.C.
Then she laid me down whilst I was in a drunken stupor
N.C.
And she took my hand and she forced me to use her
N.C.
For things I desired not for
N.C.
My friend was asleep on the floor
 
(These next chords are only on ukulele, but I like to play them a bit muted with my arm to build intensity)
 
        Amaj7                         Amaj*
I would ask myself constantly "Am I remembering that right?"
  Amaj7                  Amaj*
A paralytic memory, hazy days of a night
      Amaj7                  Amaj*
Was I truly destroyed by an imperfect person?
      Amaj7              Amaj*
Was I just co-opting the curses of coercion?
 
(This is where the actual guitar comes in on the recording.)
 
      Amaj7                               Amaj*
Well, after that event, my hair grew out, matted and frayed
       Amaj7                               Amaj*
Like a rope you'd have to cut bare to make usable again
        Amaj7                     Amaj*
But to assess my temperament, the contours of my skull
  Amaj7                            Amaj*
I shaved off all my hair and saw I still could be well
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
And the songs we sung when our minds were done
N.C.
And our lungs bled, our tongues said, "We're done with the humdrum"
           Amaj           Dmaj9
We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw
               Amaj                           Dmaj9
But now we set campfires in car parks and cut corners on short walks
 
 
[Refrain]
    Amaj          Dmaj9
The light in my eyes
     Amaj        Dmaj9
Reignited with a vengeance
               Amaj       Dmaj9
When I saw the sunrise
         Amaj             Dmaj9
Around a campfire with my best friends
    Amaj7       Amaj*
The light in my eyes
    Amaj7        Amaj*
Reignited with a vengeance
               Amaj7       Amaj*
When I saw the sunrise
           Amaj7            Amaj*
Around the campfire with my best friends
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
And the songs we sung when our minds were done
N.C.
And our lungs bled, our tongues said, "We're done with the humdrum"
N.C.
We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw
N.C.
But now we set campfires in car parks and cut corners on short walks
